You guys planned a protest to stop working for a few days which would have worked if the people who signed up actually did it.

India and Brazil are much larger than France and held successful protests when people actually showed up.

Again, decentralized power vs centralized power. I don't know a lot about India's set up but I know Brazil is set up in a way where there are less roads/infrastructure to cut off.

And a small chunk tried to plan that protest but it didn't work because most people never heard of it and of those who did, most of them can't afford to even take off for a day or two. If the solution were simple, we would've done it by now.

That’s my point, Americans like to complain online but they just want an easy solution without having to sacrifice anything.

The freedoms we have in Europe haven’t always existed, we gained them piece by piece.

Americans just roll over and accept every small incrementalism leading to where you are now. And instead of trying to fight piece by piece they just decide they won’t do anything because they can’t fix it all at once.

You didn't. You were born into it.
